SHOPPING IN SPAIN

CRAFTS Explore the world of handicrafts: visit workshops and small factories and see the creators in action. You could even learn how to make things yourself.

POTTERY AND GLASS The regions with the greatest tradition and development in the ceramic arts are Andalusia, Toledo and the Mediter- ranean area. You'll be amazed by the Moorish influence on the techniques and decorative styles dating back over a thousand years. In Manises , Valencia, you should vis- it the pottery workshops and shops in the historical old town. There you can learn how the famous Valencian pestles and mortars are manufactured and the technique for metallic-lustre ceramics. And you could paint your own medie- val-style Socarrat tile or create some- thing on a potter's wheel.
